[pct-l] confused

I am so confused. If Ray Jardine's book  is so fatally flawed there must be 
some other book  available on long distance hiking. The other day at the
book 
store I saw a rather big book  by a Collin Fletcher, would it be a better 
source of information or are their other books available? I am also
wondering 
if some of those who have been pointing out the flaws of the "Ray Way" could

not possible write their own book and make it available to us so that the 
"right way" would be known. I am sure since it so easy to pick the correct 
water treatment, stove, tent, and pack it would be easy to write a book on 
the subject without offending people. I  am also having trouble finding the 
sentence in the Jardine book that says the "Ray Way" is the "Only Way". If I

show up on the PCT with a Golite produce are other hikers going to throw 
thing at me?
